Let’s just think…..

 

 

Setting aside any and all ideology, long held beliefs, preconceived notions.  Please, just think for a moment and ponder this week the possibilities of this picture.

What is going on in this little girl’s mind?   What is she thinking about as she presses her ear to her mommy’s growing belly?  It’s like she is giving a gentle hug to her sibling so safely protected in their mommy’s womb only millimeters of skin, flesh and tissue separate them from being able to touch skin-to-skin.  Such joy and anticipation!

The unknown world ahead.  The hopes and dreams for a future of possibilities, fear, apprehension can also be a part of this scene.  In God, we have a future and a hope!  We have a future and a hope!  With God, all things are POSSIBLE!  

Every human life starts with the framework of being designed, created and born in the image of God (Genesis 1:26-27).  When we continue on the path of possibilities with God we abide and remain in his presence, uncorrupted by the world, like the innocence of a child in the womb.  Created for love and good works.  

How can the world say that precious life has no value to be protected, loved and nurtured.  Why are we not teaching our young women and men to love and believe the best?  We can create with God what we want to see in the earth, for love and good works.   Every human being is created to BE a POSSIBILITARIAN!  It’s in our true nature, it really is!

As we approach this coming week and reflect on where our world and it’s ideas, let’s think on, promote and do all we can to BE the Change God Wants To See in the World and Become that [...]

Couldn’t Sleep, Just Cry…

It doesn’t happen often that I can’t sleep. As I tried and tried to just settle my mind, I just felt an overwhelming urge to cry, let my emotions spill out and relieve the stress I was feeling. It had been a pretty rough week hearing stories of lives lost to abortion, healing so desperately being sought out, by some, complete calloused denial for others. The bright spot in the week was the Loving Life luncheon with a room of 30 kind, caring and loving individuals who have a deep desire to help bring a movement of reconciliation to our little county of Yamhill, Oregon. What an answer to prayer!
As I prayed through it and asked God what “THAT” was all about, there was an overwhelming sense that that very night 32 years ago, August 15th, that I became pregnant with our first child, our daughter which we only months later chose to end her life through abortion. It’s funny how our soul has such a memory that almost seems to be a part of our inner life record, almost becoming part of our DNA until it comes to a point of reconciliation. So, as I slipped out from under the bed sheets next to my fast-asleep hubby, glancing at the illuminated clock face with a time of 11:37 p.m. I grabbed my note pad wandered down the dark hallway to the quiet living room turned on the dimmer switch light, plopped down on the comfy leather sofa, propping the pillows underneath me, this is what came forth.
How can it be that we have strayed so incredibly far from the image we were created to [...]
